since we're allowed to be broad, this is pretty much hip-hop. It came out in 1989, it's the third great everything-but-the-kitchen-sink sampling album of that year (along with pauls boutique and 3 ft High) before legality shat all over the art of stealing sounds.

every album is on here like at least thrice (exaggeration) and ERYKAH BADU is in here for some reason, and idk, they just dont mean anything, just a list of albums you know? And I'm just too lazy today to ^this like 70% of the albums itt, so there's that too.

some more esoteric examples. I really don't have much truck with most popular or modern hiphop - I'm a tie-died in the wool daisy-ager for the most part, so classics like Straight Outta Compton and It Takes a Nation of Millions leave me cold. Generally I have no interest in aggression unless there's some sort of story involved (ie: Gangstarr). So that tends to leave me with the thinkers and comedians.

they're just an opportunity for people to mention albums within a given category that they like, regardless of narrowing down to a top however many. I like them because they introduce me to quite a few albums that I've not heard before. The "top 50" or whatever threads are more pointless as far as I'm concerned because they're just lists of the same old things that everyone's heard.

that is supposed to be polling which albums are liked by the greatest amount of DiS users. Now, a list containing the most popular hip-hop albums may little similarity with your taste, but if many of your favourites are minority picks, the list is not relevant to your taste. So just forget about it, there are plenty of threads that go into much greater depth on here.

But yeah, people should check before posting albums already mentioned.

There's always been some good hip-hop discussion on this site, and threads like this with absolutely NO discussion (till now) add nothing. They'll be forgotten in a week, nobody will look at the names of anybody involved and without any kind of description nobody will listen to any of the recommended albums.

Nobody thises anything down the page for one reason- they've got bored and left already.

It's not supposed to be a discussion, it's supposed to be an attempt to find out the favourite hip hop album of the readers of this site. Nothing more. I assume that it's going to be totted up and the results will be put up on the site in an article, the same way as the 'DiS favourite albums' one was.

Actually quite keen to see the results - DiS is not a totally hip hop centric site so may be some interesting conclusions

Wouldn't have a problem with people listing their favourite hip-hop albums and someone tallying them up, it's just the idea that getting people to 'this' posts is a worthwhile method, like there's only a limited number of options.

Personally, I didn't take it as thising all of the albums I liked (because that would be most of them) - I only this'd my favourites which I took as the point of the thread.

As a matter of common sense as well, it seems to me that if most people couldn't even be arsed to this albums in this thread, as you make out, it seems even less likely that they'd be bothered to do their own list. Also, does it really matter that much if an album is listed twice? Surely just counts as another 'this' come results time

No disrespect to anyone who has posted itt either, if you enjoyed it then cool w/e. Its more the idea of these threads in general that has me like "whats the point". obv every thread can be reduced to "whats the point, who cares", but you know. The electronic one is WAY worse btw.

There needs to be some parameters to make it worthwhile. Like a simple maximum number of thisses per user so at least you have to think about it?
